【 摘 要 】

We are moving more into utilizing technology for teaching and communication. In fact, technology is difficult to avoid, and many students prefer to use a laptop or tablet rather than a pen and paper in class. In a world where new technology emerges on a daily basis, more and more Universities are offering online and hybrid courses that utilize these advances. From 2007 to 2013, undergraduate student enrollment in at least one distance-learning or online course increased from 20 to 32% (6–8). Public health schools and programs are no exception to this trend. As of spring 2013, the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) accredited 87 schools and programs that offer online public health degrees (9). Some of these courses are conducted entirely online, while hybrid courses combine elements of both online and in-person learning. Still, most University courses follow the traditional in-person lecture format, including very few components of online learning (10).
